Best GA airports

I definitely haven’t done this on expert accidentally…

Correction from Wikipedia “It [sic] is among the busiest General Aviation airports in the United States” but I’ll take your word for it 👍

Dallas fort worth? Wouldn’t consider that GA

Add to Oceania, for simplicity’s sake Malaysia and below will be Oceania

Are you sure that isn’t just your home airport? We cannot see foliage in IF so I will not include this

@BART130 @Jacob both have been added

They kinda have to offer passenger transport due to its remote location, they also accept GA, it’s beautiful over there and very close to Mt. Everest.

You must be a regular (TL3). You are currently a member (TL2). To get regular, you must be very active and helpful on the community, have few flagged posts and never have been suspended.

Ok I don’t think I’ll ever be regular so I’d like to suggest KAVX (North America) as its very high and has an interesting location (drops on all sides)

Catalina island

Don’t know how I forgot that 😃 I love KAVX! Fly in there (on IF) at least twice a week

Yeah but GA technically stands for General Aviation. And Lukla only carry planes like the twin otter and stuff which is technically a GA aircraft.

“[Sic]General aviation (GA) is the term for all civil aviation operations other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire.”

A propeller doesn’t in any way mean its GA. GA is anything that isn’t scheduled commercial passenger service, which the flights to Lukla are. I will include it because it’s very good for GA though

Helicopters are also classed as GA.

Unless they’re flying a regular commercial flight - which is rare, so generally speaking yes

Anyone know any good ones down south?

Like southern USA?

Well if so try KFFA First Flight Airport. It’s in Kitty Hawk NC and RWY 3/21 is right on the Water. It’s also 97% GA and 3% Military.

07FA (Ocean Reef Club Airport) is down in the keys which makes for a nice short hop from many SoFlo fields.
